I am pretty impressed with this. I was half afraid it was going to be a cheesy suspense with ridiculous bossom heaving sex, but it turned out to be a pretty good story. I can't say I was on the edge of my seat, but I was entertained.

Ana is 21 and she has been busted for attempted murder and robbery. She is given a choice: ten years behind bars or help the police force with undercover sting operations and bring down drug dealers. Naturally, she chooses NARC work. Is it the right choice tho? She...more

I've gotten used to getting amazing books from Carina Press, and CRIMINAL INSTINCT didn't disappoint. The story hooked me from the first page. The author's style is fluid, her voice bold and edgy, her characters engaging and likable, even when they're not doing very nice things. And that's exactly the appeal of this book. It's very raw, and makes a heck of an emotional impact. I was surprised at how authentic every part of the story seemed, from the inner workings of a top-secret government team...more

A heroine who makes the page glow with more brilliance than Lisbeth Salander from Steig Larsson’s series? She’s here in Ms Parra’s Criminal Instinct. And not only that, the other characters are pretty perky too.

Our misfit, Ana Moreno, is feisty and tiny but tough enough to break a man’s face. She carries an illegal switch-blade in her boot, is carrying enough emotional baggage around that would flatten a goods train, and she’s been sentenced to five years in prison for attempted murder. But she...more

Criminal Instinct is a great romantic suspense new release from Kelly Lynn Parra. Ana is a convicted felon, and is given the option of serving jail time, or spending five years as an undercover agent on the harsh streets of San Francisco. Needless to say Ana chooses her freedom, and is stuck working on a team with other convicted felons, and a boss that is a total hard ass.

When the team learns of a potentially fatal shipment of Ecstasy inbound to San Fran, they must do everything in their power...more

Kelly (Lynn) Parra’s earliest stories were told with paintbrushes, but upon discovering the drama, forbidden love, and danger of romance and suspense novels, those paintbrushes were replaced with a keyboard.

Now a multi-published author in young adult and suspense fiction, she has created memorable characters such as a graffiti artist, a psychic teen, and a tough undercover narc. A two-time RITA fi...more
